Which came first - the egg or the Poop?
The story that you are about to read is true.
The names have been changed to protect the ignorant. Today I had lunch with my co-workers. Let’s call them “Dazed” and “Confused”.
Dazed: You can’t eat anything anymore. Everything makes you sick. First it was the spinach and the e-coli, now it’s the chicken.
Worm: What happened with chicken?
Dazed: Someone got salmonella from chicken.
Worm: Well, yeah – that’s why it’s so important to cook poultry thoroughly and to clean up well after you handle raw poultry. Salmonella is always a risk with raw poultry.
Confused: Yeah. [my spawn] laughs at me because I wash the eggs.
Dazed: Ha ha ha – why do you wash eggs?
Confused: To clean them.
Worm: I never thought of that. I guess it might be a good idea to wash them before breaking them, but you have to cook the egg anyway.
Dazed: But you don’t eat the shell.
Worm: True, but it’s like washing the cantaloupe before cutting it. The knife can drag bacteria into the fruit.
Confused: Everyone should wash it – it’s gross.
Dazed: Why?
Confused: Because it comes from the place where the chicken poops.
Worm and Dazed: Ha Ha Ha Ha
Confused: What?
Worm: It doesn’t come from the same place.
Confused: Yes! It comes from the chickens butt.
Worm: You had a baby. Did he come out of the same hole you poop from?
Confused: No. You mean chickens have two holes?
Worm: Yes. An egg hole and a poop hole.
Confused: Really?????
Dazed: All the poop talk – I’m not hungry anymore.
Confused: I always thought it came from the same hole.
Worm: Think about it! The so called “poop-hole” is attached to the digestive system. The egg can’t pass through the digestive system.
Confused: No, but I thought it was like two tubes leading to the same hole.
Worm: Ah – like two hallways to the same door?
Confused: Exactly!
Worm: Um……no.
Another day in the life of a worm.
Think I could make a living off of crochet? More... |

Actually, that would be Ummmm yes and no.
Chickens have ONE opening, not 3. Urine, stool, and eggs all come out the same hole.  
But the chicken sort of makes a glove out of the end of the oviduct and pushes it out past the dirty part of the cloaca

And I do not want to know how or why you know that esoteric bit of trivia.

Oh lord. We have to wash the eggs all the time. There is almost always poop on them.
I still had to LMAO at that exchange. Classic.
And Judy, thanks for those drawings. More about chicken butt than I ever wanted to know.

do you know how humiliated I am that she was right and I was wrong. Of course when I told her she was wrong she totally believed me. Now I have to tell her she was right.
I'm not pleased. |

Yes, but isn't the poop you are washing off really from the nests? |

Pippa, one of those "i don't know and i don't care" things.
Delia, you don't have to TELL her you were wrong. If she brings it up, claim temporary insanity. It's not like she's likely to go research it or talk to anyone who can proove you wrong.

Uh, relish in the thought that she was making that statement out of pure stupidity? It's not like she probably had an experience with chickens....or maybe she did

More likely she had some distant memory of high school biology

Sigh.
Her grandma had a farm back in the old country.
I told her she was right.
"Dazed" just swore off eggs. |

I am not thinking that the coworker remembered any such thing. Considering the number of clients- ok, clients' husbands - who thought the exact same thing about *human* babies...
There are times when other people scare me.  |
